After saving Kairi Patel, Harvey York left the scene for her to clean up.He believed that she would handle everything properly, judging from her abilities.Then, he called Thomas Burton for him to drive them both to a place to eat.Harvey wanted to go to a roadside stall, but Thomas insisted on treating him to a good meal. The two then went to the Golden Sands Hotel.Thomas was extremely quiet while he was on the road. He did not say a single word after seeing the bloodshed in front of him just now. He did not ask Harvey about the details, as if nothing had happened.Harvey felt impressed by Thomas’ attitude. Safe to say that he was a man who would achieve great things but was only hindered by luck for the moment.Soon after, the car was parked in front of the Golden Sands Hotel. Thomas quickly pulled out a bank card and gave it to Harvey when he remembered something.“Here’s 7.3 million dollars, Sir York. This is all I have for now.“Give this to Mandy Zimmer. Tell her that t
After hearing Thomas Burton’s sigh, Harvey York could clearly feel the weariness of a man.Harvey frowned.“Who’s been causing you trouble?“Even your past competitors wouldn’t do something like this to waste their own energy, right?”Thomas let out a bitter chuckle.“One of them was my good friend, and the other was the woman I loved…“Not only did they get together after my downfall, but they also kept trampling all over me!“Then, I found out that my friend had been siphoning money from me for the past few years…“That woman had been colluding with him too…“I’m a fool. I didn’t even realize that I was already betrayed.“They won’t let me rise again, no matter what.“They know that I’ll crush them the moment I do.“That’s why I quit doing business. I have a car with me here. Maybe I’ll try chauffeuring…“Those people will be at ease and I’ll be relieved as well.“When I’m done dealing with my matters, I’ll finally retire and return to my hometown.”Thomas seemed quite
“She’s my ex, Sydney Lee.“We were together for many years. I loved her. I wanted to give her the entire world.“But I never knew she hooked up with my good friend for so long!“After my assets and business were frozen by the government, not only did she take away the money I had left, she conspired with my good friend to trick me into signing a contract, forcing me to put up with all that debt…“Thank goodness I got lucky. I would’ve sent those b*stards to jail by now if that weren’t the case!“That said, I must thank Mandy Zimmer for saving me back then…”A sense of respect was showing on Thomas Burton’s face.Harvey York smiled.“Do you still hate her?”“Of course, but I thought about it for a few days…Thomas showed a stern expression.“Hating on a woman is the most useless thing I can do.“If I have power, I should be taking revenge instead.“It’s a shame that I have none. I can’t do anything except try my best to survive.“I have no right to take revenge.“No matte
“Who in Hell is that fatty over there?! He’s dressed like a damn country bumpkin, and he’s even staring all over us!”“He must be some sort of pervert! Look! He’s staring at my legs now!”“Ugh! I can’t believe this! I forgot my stockings today! He saw every part of my legs! How disgusting!”“I know, right?! People like that are just heinous! Doesn’t he know that we’re innocent and pure women here?!”“How are we supposed to get married after this?!”“Disgusting!”“Pervert!”“A man like him is trying to have a piece of good meat?”“Dream on!”The women were gossiping up a storm.Sydney Lee, who was on her phone, raised her head at this moment.A playful smile was showing on her face the moment she saw Thomas Burton.“I was wondering who it was! It’s Young Master Burton himself!”Sydney obviously remembered who Thomas was. After all, the two had been together for quite a while.After being reminded of the past, Sydney felt like vomiting.Her beautiful face was filled with u
After being ridiculed by his ex-girlfriend and her group of friends, Thomas Burton could not hold his feelings back any longer despite his good nature.“Don’t you dare cross the line, Sydney Lee!” exclaimed Thomas while showing a cold glare.“You know just how well I used to treat you! I don’t care how you mock me…“But if you keep taking advantage of other people, then don’t blame me for what happens next…”“What did you say?!Sydney showed a disdainful glare.“You’re just useless trash who fell off! Do you think you’re still the Garbage King or something?!“You can’t tolerate anything! Are you a man or what?!”“Huh?!”Thomas did not know how to refute after being relentlessly ridiculed.Harvey tapped on Thomas’ shoulder with a smiley face.“Alright. Don’t run your mouth to despicable people like those. Let’s head inside.”“What did you say?!“You called us despicable?!“Let me tell you something! We’re all with rich and wealthy people here!Sydney disdainfully glared a
Thomas Burton froze before showing a horrible look on his face.He just remembered that the membership card has an annual renewal fee of thousands of dollars.After his assets were completely frozen, he had no money to pay the membership fees.The beautiful women laughed their heads off after hearing the waitress’ words.“It’s expired?”“How did you end up like this, Young Master Burton?”“How dare you even come here to eat?”“You can’t even get through the door, you fatty!”“You’re just a broke and bankrupt fatty! Why are you still pretending to be some rich boss?! Start begging for food outside already! You’re shameless!”Thomas’ eyes kept twitching as he held his fist. He was downright furious, yet he felt utterly miserable.A man who fell out of power is inferior to the common folk.He finally experienced such a thing.He completely ignored Sydney Lee and the others when he apologetically looked at Harvey York.“I’m sorry, Sir York! I’m really sorry!“I wanted to trea
Sydney Lee would not just give up on her pride at this moment.“You’re here to clean dishes, aren’t you?!” she exclaimed while gritting her teeth.Dariel Jackson was about to slap her in the face when Harvey York stopped him.“Are you insane or something, Ms. Lee?” replied Harvey calmly while squinting at her.“You’re the insane one! Your entire family’s insane like you!” exclaimed Sydney.“If I guess correctly, you’ve been burping for no reason for the longest time. Your mouth’s been extremely sore as well.“You can even smell your own breath when you speak.“That’s why you like to eat a lot of bubblegum to hide that scent.”Sydney froze after hearing those words.“How did you know that?”“I’m not a doctor, but I know some martial arts,” replied Harvey.“Eastern martial arts have medical skills included in them. That’s why I know a little about that.“I can tell that you’ve been losing sleep too. Your stomach will hurt as soon as you drink something cold.Harvey showed a
Dariel Jackson arranged a table for Harvey York and Thomas Burton to sit at.To not let Thomas feel pressured, Harvey declined before getting inside a box and sitting in front of the window.At the same time, he ordered a set meal and opened a bottle of red wine before he started eating.“I think we should just leave here, Sir York…Thomas hesitated when he grabbed his utensils.“It’s not that I don’t believe your abilities! I just don’t think there’s a need to go against so many people for someone like me!”Sydney Lee has suffered quite a bit, giving Thomas the relief he desperately needed…But Thomas’ head started to throb when he thought of the man behind her, Luca Robbins.He simply could not go against a man like that at all.“What are you saying?Harvey sat up straight before showing discontent.“You’re my brother, my dear friend.“If people go against you, they go against me.“If they don’t respect you, then they don’t respect me either!“I’m just giving you your p
"Have you forgotten your promises to my older brother? Are you going to turn back on your promises?" Coco reminded Zoltan since he had already chosen a side, there were things that he had to do no matter what he thought about it.However, Zoltan had completely ignored Coco. His expression changed a few times before he finally bowed and said, "My apologies, Mr. Harvey. I didn't recognize you for who you are."The moment Coco opened her mouth, Zoltan was 100 percent sure Harvey was indeed who he claimed he was. The Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, the Chairman of Country H Commercial Group, the Scion of Dragon Gate, Prince of South Light… But most importantly, he had utterly defeated Mark of Origin Fist and even the Second Branch owed him a great debt.All of this was enough for him to show respect toward Harvey.Most importantly, he was part of the Second Branch. He could choose to stand with Dan, but he could never go against the family's will. Otherwise, there wa
Crack!Zoltan heard a loud crack before he could even pull the Repeating Crossbow's trigger. Harvey had already snapped the Repeating Crossbow in half using just one hand after touching it.Harvey did not care about the disbelief on Zoltan's face. He raised his leg and immediately kicked him in his stomach. The attack was very powerful. While Zoltan was also a martial arts elite, he stumbled backward despite trying his best to keep himself under control.Coco, Tina, and the others all looked at this moment in surprise. While everything Harvey did so far had been arrogant, it was still quite challenging for them to believe he was still being so haughty before the person in charge of the Peacekeeping Agency.Typically, no one would have done something like this, even if they wanted to die. Harvey would pay an unimaginable price for all his arrogant actions thus far.Zoltan, who had just taken office, would not stop until Harvey was dead to protect his power and status. And just as e
Coco felt like she finally had someone to cling to when she saw Zoltan walking in with a stern expression, accompanied by his men with metallic weapons and Martial Arts Weapons on them.The fear on her face had disappeared entirely, leaving behind coldness and pride.She glanced at Harvey and said, "Zoltan, you're just in time. Belladonna Cult's Princess Vaida is sick again. Please send her to the mental health institute. Her sugar baby most likely took some sort of drugs… He even managed to injure Hereward and the others."Don't worry about this. Tell all your people to attack simultaneously and punish him according to our city's law. Remember, our city is a city of fairness. Punish them according to our laws. You can't show him leniency just because of Vaida!"Coco stood in the middle of the chamber with her hands folded in front of her chest. She stood there giving out commands, coming off as overbearing and egotistical. It was as if everything within Grand City was hers to comm
"You…" Vaida slightly frowned at Coco.Harvey smiled instead. "Vaida, now that things have reached this juncture, we can't end this right here. That way, we'll simply allow them to make their moves. Maybe they'll even think we've chosen to withdraw. That's why my principle has always been to stay put or make a bombastic move. If we don't completely crush their pride this time, they might even think they have some skills."Harvey had already decided that things had gone out of hand, and then he would have to make this end right here and now. This was called fixing the situation in one go and not wasting time."You're still going to act tough at this critical point, pretty boy?" Coco laughed angrily when she saw that Harvey still did not take her seriously. "I'm telling you this right now. I will get my revenge no matter the cost, even if my older brother will punish me because of what will happen. I will make you understand that you can't simply humiliate the Parkers and Parkerville!
After Coco gave out her order, all the elites beside her took out their Rainstorm Needles and immediately pounced at Harvey's location. While these weapons were quite rare outside, they were common in Grand City.Harvey frowned slightly. He was not worried about his own safety, but he did not want Alexei and Vaida to be caught in the crossfire. He immediately glanced at Alexei and said, "Take care of Vaida, and don't come close."And then, Harvey charged into the crowd immediately.He first grabbed an elite by the neck, picked him up like a sandbag, and then brutally hurled him away.Bang!After that loud noise, around seven elites had to retreat as they started coughing blood. As for the Rainstorm Needles in their hands, Harvey had all crushed them under his foot before they could even use it. In less than ten seconds, the so-called elites had all fallen to the ground.In short, the bodyguards that circled Coco meant nothing to Harvey. After finishing with them, Harvey glared at
"Hereward Parker! Get your arse here and kill him! Kill him quickly!" Coco was overwhelmed with fury at this moment. The air of superiority around her was gone, her expression replaced by feral rage. Then, she pointed at Harvey as she gritted her teeth, her voice sounding demonlike.Whoosh!The moment she finished saying that, a figure jumped in from outside the window of the Supreme Chamber. He was so quick that he appeared right before Harvey in the blink of an eye. He did not waste any time and simply raised his hand, punching his fist toward Harvey's face.Unceasing Gate Style, Unshackled Fist.While the attack looked like it had no power behind it, there was an indescribable sharpness behind that attack.When Alexei saw what happened, his expression changed. "Hereward? That martial arts fanatic? Be careful, big bro! You shouldn't underestimate his power!"Tina smirked when she heard what Alexei said. "Since you know who Hereward is, then you should know how powerful he is. H
Harvey didn't let Coco get off scot-free. Instead, he walked up to her with a blank expression and slapped her directly across the face.Slap!Coco let out a painful cry; she immediately flew backward, slamming into a wall opposite the door with a loud bang.Harvey then took out a wet paper towel to wipe his fingers and said calmly, "Why don't you guess if I'm bold enough to kill you?"Coco held her face as she stumbled to her feet, staring at Harvey with wide eyes. The pain on her face aside, she was filled with disbelief and indescribable fury. She couldn't believe there was someone in Grand City not afraid to move against her and even dared to assault her directly.There was no difference between this and having a death wish!She was the princess of Parkerville! In her own family and among the Seven Families of Grand City, she was already standing at the top of the hierarchy. How could Harvey stand up to her? What leverage did he have against her?"What?!"Tina and the othe
"I'm warning you! You better grovel at her feet right now and slap yourself a hundred times so that this is over! Otherwise, you're going to die a horrible death!" Tina yelled as she bared her teeth at Harvey, as if wanting to shred him into pieces.It was clear that to Tina, since she couldn't do anything to Vaida, she could at least take it out on Harvey, right? She was very familiar with the heirs of the powerful families within Grand City. Harvey was very unfamiliar to her and didn't look like someone important at all.Even Coco was sizing Harvey up from head to toe. "You should know your place," she said coldly. "There's a hierarchy in this world, and there are rules you shouldn't touch. There are also people you shouldn't offend so easily. In other words, when you want to step in for someone else, you should also see just how much strength you have. Otherwise, you might lose your head before you can even do anything."Both sides had completely turned against each other tod
Despite his fear, Alexei finally stood up and yelled at Coco and her entourage. "Senior Vaida is fine! You can't do whatever you want! Do you really think you can act as you please with the Belladonna Cult?!"Harvey shot him a surprised glance. He wasn't expecting Alexei to be courageous enough to speak out like that. Vaida remained silent; she only looked at Coco coldly, as if wanting to see what Coco was going to do next."Who do you think you are, Alexei? Since when do you have any power to decide whether Vaida is sick? Only the doctors are qualified to do that," Coco sneered. "And only the doctors who work for the Parker family, at that. Now, take Vaida to the mental health institution. Stop wasting our time!" Coco presented herself assertively, as if she was going to use this excuse to admit Vaida into the institution.What of the consequences?With Parkerville's influence in Grand City currently, they didn't have to care about the consequences. Before Coco's men could
